Satisfy sweet tooth?

How about Yasso frozen Greek Yogurt bars, for about 100 calories? I like mint chocolate chip and cookie dough ones best personally. Individually wrapped good-quality chocolates are also a good thing, IMO. There are some good options in the 50-75 calorie range.

But I'm a big fan of fruit. Not grapes so much, but apples, figs, cherries, pears, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, kumquats, jackfruit, guavas . . . .

Frozen berries with topped with a mix of chocolate peanut butter powder and plain Greek yogurt is also tasty.

Note: Evening cravings can be about fatigue. If your sleep quality/quantity is sub-ideal, improving that could help moderate cravings, maybe.

70 calories of semisweet chocolate chips

How do you all satisfy your sweet cravings? I’ve noticed I’m craving sweets in the evening and could use healthy ideas. And please don’t tell me to eat fruit - grapes won’t cut it! 😂

In addition to insufficient sleep, I get cravings for sweet/snacky foods when my protein is low.

I do have several servings of fruit per day, but I don't eat it alone - I add protein and fat. For example, Greek yogurt with berries and a little granola.

I think plain watermelon is boring and kicked it up with this recipe:

Once I had it with feta cheese but mostly I had it with a meal. Was really good with Thai beef salad.

I make protein pudding to eat in the evening. One bottle of Premier protein powder and 3 TBS of any sugar free jello pudding, I normally do the cheesecake one

Dark chocolate!

I carry this around and would snack on this when I need to have a sweet boost.
I found the ones with around 70% cocoas are the best option to me. Still sweet, and not bitter.

I am the sweets queen.

Search the database for Ninja Creami ice cream recipes. We have ice cream every single night. Tonight will be homemade chocolate peanut butter with whipped cream and zero cal chocolate syrup on top. About 160 calories total for a little more than half a homemade pint. Last night was a simple can of frozen crushed pineapple, made into a sorbet, topped with maraschino cherries and whipped cream.

Cadbury’s Curly Wurly. 98 calories for their small sized braided bar of chocolate covered caramel awesomeness. Available by the case off Amazon if you’re not in the UK for about $1 per bar or less.

Irrestistables (sic) meringues (available at Sprouts), 30 calories each, the size of a fist (granted, my fists are much smaller these days).

Reko pizelle cookies, 140 calories for half a pack and if you go buck wild and eat the whole pack it’s still less than other cookies. Texture of crispy waffle cones. Several flavors. Available at TJ Maxx and some grocery stores.

Whole milk Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of honey and a sprinkle of muesli OR plain with a sprinkle of milk chocolate hagel- available on Amazon.

Diced apples sautéed in a little lemon juice and zero calorie caramel syrup, sprinkled with apple pie spice, and then baked in phyllo mini-tart shells.

Pear or apple, halved and baked with cinnamon or pie spice.

Frozen Wyman’s wild blueberries on cottage cheese. Amp it up with a tsp or two of GrapeNuts and/or some sweet blueberry balsamic.

A lovely naval orange.

Nugo bars. They’re high protein, and delicious. Mint, coconut, and chocolate chip are my personal faves. They’re as good as any candy bar, so you have to be careful with them. If you sign up for texts or emails, they’ll regularly send you 20/25% off deals with free shipping. You can test them out by buying individual bars at Sprouts and Whole Foods.

I could go on. I make sure to incorporate sweets all day long.

Greek yogurt/Lily's chocolate chips (or some of a chopped-up Quest/Vega or NuGo bar (they are almost too much of a good thing though...)/Kamut puffs/pb powder.
